My Students

This year I am teaching 30 high fourth graders. I teach in a Title I school, located in a very high-poverty and high-crime area of Pennsylvania.

All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Many of my students come from homes where English is not spoken. I have eight special education students and five ESL (English as a Second Language) students in my classroom. Several of the students in my classroom have an in-class social worker. I would appreciate as much support as I can get for my little ones. Thank you in advance.

My Project

I would love to get my students scarves for this upcoming winter season.

Please support me in getting my students Life Essential Winter Scarves.

Currently, none of my students wear scarves even when it is cold out. I would love if each of my students could get an infinity scarf.

I feel that if my students could take home an infinity winter scarf that they would be warmer and healthier this coming winter.

I do not want my students to worry about getting cold. I want them to focus on their studies instead of worrying about getting cold. Thanks again!
